The government officials of Sui Ning County felt like they were about to go crazy.
It was originally a day no different from any other.
They yawned while eating, clocked in, attended court, watched the county magistrate handle a few tedious cases, and then discussed whose house to gather at for a small evening get-together.
As the end of the year approached, what needed to be done was just those few things.
Nothing more than some petty thieves jumping walls and old swindlers setting traps, as even thieves wanted to have a fat year.
There were also those who couldn't get through the year and resorted to desperate measures.
How these matters were handled depended on the county magistrate's attitude.
If the county magistrate felt the local atmosphere had been bad lately and thieves rampant, they would directly find the leader of the local gang and give them a warning, instructing their followers to behave.
